Conversation Checkpoint: Checkpoint Protocol Documentation

Date: 2026-03-28

Summary

Michael and I clarified and formalized the protocol for checkpointing conversations.

Decisions

• Checkpoint protocol is now officially categorized as a tool/workflow.
• I have added the "Checkpoint Protocol" to TOOLS.md to ensure consistency.
• Checkpoints (context-meta files) must be saved in knowledge/chat-topics/ or relevant knowledge/projects/ subdirectories.
• Filenames must be descriptive (e.g., conversation-checkpoint-protocol.md).
• Upon starting a new session, I must read the relevant meta file to maintain context.

Next Steps

• Continue using this protocol for all future checkpoint requests.
